Are we missing something? Are we really just seeing a blade of grass for a simple structure of is, as opposed to what if?
How can something so sustainable turn a baby calve into a cow. What's in it? And why have we not developed it into something we understand. Grass is showing us a way to survive and live without poverty across the world.
Human technology has developed means of breaking down and understanding exactly what makes up a living cell. We need to start looking at what's on our doorstep.
Evolution has showed us that primitive species have learned, adapted and controlled a complex yet contradicting, simple form of energy as a main source of nutrition. This source supplies everything from protein to carbohydrates. Everything we need to keep going and sustain a normal life.
Some common observations of grass:
- When grass is cut and stored in a compressed state it heats up. We could use this as an underground heating system for our homes.
- When grass is compressed it oozes a pure green liquid filled with natural minerals from the soil. What health benefits could this have for medicine? Could it help with skin conditions?
- What gases are released when grass decays? Could this gas be used to power a car? Or even a house?
- Grass turns back into soil after a few months, once cut and stored in a plastic container. An amazing natural source of re-generation.
- What if the local council collected all the grass they cut. Stored it and sold it to local farmers as rich compost to regenerate fields for crops.
- Instead of concrete paths. Why don't we use a degradable inter-linking mesh, like small honey combs. Slightly raised and smaller than a foot size. Between all these combs we could simply plant grass thus inject a greener landscape.
- Have you ever filled 3months of grass cuttings in a wheely bin, then tried to move it? Grass is light but yet so heavy.
- Grass keeps soil in its place and stops it from land sliding in heavy rainstorms. Its like soil needs grass to help it sustain and maintain itself.
Grass seems to grow pretty much anywhere, providing there is a surplus amount of water to help it regenerate. Its lush dense infusion across our landscapes is showing us another way to harness a forgotten energy source.
